BeagleBone Black boot information

[John Klos <john%ziaspace.com@localhost>]

Hi,

Is there an MLO for the BeagleBone Black yet which can load a kernel from 
ffs? I'm using MLO and u-boot.img from this page:

http://people.freebsd.org/~dmarion/beaglebone/creating_bootable_sd_card/


Why is the kernel compiled with:
 load addr:   0x80300000
 entry point: 0x80300000

yet when I try to load and boot the kernel there, it fails:

U-Boot# fatload mmc 0:1 80300000 netbsd.ub
reading netbsd.ub
2998016 bytes read in 344 ms (8.3 MiB/s)
U-Boot# bootm 80300000

    MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses

When I load and run from 0x81000000, it works... So what's the relationship 
between the NetBSD kernel's load address and entry point and u-boot's load 
address and start address?

I'm trying to make sense of all of this because the GNU/Linux 
documentation assumes the world is GNU/Linux and doesn't talk about the 
BeagleBone except assuming that the OS is already booted, plus there is no 
NetBSD documentation and the only mentions of NetBSD on BeagleBone Black 
just say it boots, not how to set up a working system. I suppose a HOW-TO 
is in order, which I'll do when I've gotten mine working.

Thanks,
John
